vipercard as a classic OS website theme?
Ray Arachelian
This is really amazing work! Very neat! I guess it's time to dust off my old Hypercard books and start playing. :)
But I do have another use in mind. I'd be interested in using vipercard as a website theme - to simulate the old and Lisa Office System look and feel.
So I suppose that would bring up a whole slew of questions as to security and such as well as needing to insert modifications which are outside of your goals.
But to start with, could I trouble you for some hints as to where in the code to look for how to change change the look of window titles to look more like the Lisa window title bar? (It would change the horizontal stripes in the title bar to solid black and some vertical stripes near the title text.)
And next where would I add code to read a text file from the server and display it in a Mac font and possibly insert gifs/jpegs, and links to external sites? I suppose the path of least resistance there would be an IFRAME inside a window, but it would need to be controlled by a Vipercard scrollbar that would change the position inside the IFRAME in sync.
I can probably do the rest of what I'd want in hypertalk. Any hints would be highly appreciated.
Again many thanks for your amazing work.
